إِشَعْيَاءَ 22

١ 1 وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ وَادِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا: فَمَا لَكِ أَنَّكِ صَعِدْتِ جَمِيعًا عَلَى ٱلسُّطُوحِ،

The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

٢ 2 يَا مَلآنَةُ مِنَ ٱلْجَلَبَةِ، ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَجَّاجَةُ، ٱلْقَرْيَةُ ٱلْمُفْتَخِرَةُ؟ قَتْلَاكِ لَيْسَ هُمْ قَتْلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ وَلَا مَوْتَى ٱلْحَرْبِ.

O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.

٣ 3 جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِكِ هَرَبُوا مَعًا. أُسِرُوا بِٱلْقِسِيِّ. كُلُّ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ بِكِ أُسِرُوا مَعًا. مِنْ بَعِيدٍ فَرُّوا.

All thy rulers fled away together, they were bound by the archers: all that were found of thee were bound together, they fled afar off.

٤ 4 لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: «ٱقْتَصِرُوا عَنِّي، فَأَبْكِي بِمَرَارَةٍ. لَا تُلِحُّوا بِتَعْزِيَتِي عَنْ خَرَابِ بِنْتِ شَعْبِي».

Therefore said I, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me, for the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

٥ 5 إِنَّ لِلسَّيِّدِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي وَادِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا يَوْمَ شَغبٍ وَدَوْسٍ وَٱرْتِبَاكٍ. نَقْبُ سُورٍ وَصُرَاخٌ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ.

For it is a day of discomfiture, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the LORD of hosts, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.

٦ 6 فَعِيلَامُ قَدْ حَمَلَتِ ٱلْجَعْبَةَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِ رِجَالٍ فُرْسَانٍ، وَقِيرُ قَدْ كَشَفَتِ ٱلْمِجَنَّ.

And Elam bare the quiver, with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

٧ 7 فَتَكُونُ أَفْضَلُ أَوْدِيَتِكِ مَلآنَةً مَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَٱلْفُرْسَانُ تَصْطَفُّ ٱصْطِفَافًا نَحْوَ ٱلْبَابِ.

And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

٨ 8 وَيَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ يَهُوذَا، فَتَنْظُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى أَسْلِحَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.

And he took away the covering of Judah; and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.

٩ 9 وَرَأَيْتُمْ شُقُوقَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَنَّهَا صَارَتْ كَثِيرَةً، وَجَمَعْتُمْ مِيَاهَ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلسُّفْلَى.

And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

١٠ 10 وَعَدَدْتُمْ بُيُوتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَهَدَمْتُمُ ٱلْبُيُوتَ لِتَحْصِينِ ٱلسُّورِ.

and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye brake down the houses to fortify the wall.

١١ 11 وَصَنَعْتُمْ خَنْدَقًا بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ لِمِيَاهِ ٱلْبِرْكَةِ ٱلْعَتِيقَةِ. لَكِنْ لَمْ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى صَانِعِهِ، وَلَمْ تَرَوْا مُصَوِّرَهُ مِنْ قَدِيمٍ.

ye made also a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye looked not unto him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

١٢ 12 وَدَعَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى ٱلْبُكَاءِ وَٱلنَّوْحِ وَٱلْقَرَعَةِ وَٱلتَّنَطُّقِ بِٱلْمِسْحِ،

And in that day did the Lord, the LORD of hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

١٣ 13 فَهُوَذَا بَهْجَةٌ وَفَرَحٌ، ذَبْحُ بَقَرٍ وَنَحْرُ غَنَمٍ، أَكْلُ لَحْمٍ وَشُرْبُ خَمْرٍ! «لِنَأْكُلْ وَنَشْرَبْ، لِأَنَّنَا غَدًا نَمُوتُ».

and behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

١٤ 14 فَأَعْلَنَ فِي أُذُنَيَّ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «لَا يُغْفَرَنَّ لَكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْإِثْمُ حَتَّى تَمُوتُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».

And the LORD of hosts revealed himself in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

١٥ 15 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى هَذَا جَلِيسِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى شِبْنَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ:

Thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, [and say],

١٦ 16 مَا لَكَ هَهُنَا؟ وَمَنْ لَكَ هَهُنَا حَتَّى نَقَرْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ هَهُنَا قَبْرًا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاقِرُ فِي ٱلْعُلُوِّ قَبْرَهُ، ٱلنَّاحِتُ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ مَسْكَنًا؟

What doest thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre? hewing him out a sepulchre on high, graving an habitation for himself in the rock!

١٧ 17 هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَطْرَحُكَ طَرْحًا يَا رَجُلُ، وَيُغَطِّيكَ تَغْطِيَةً.

Behold, the LORD will hurl thee away violently as a [strong] man; yea, he will wrap thee up closely.

١٨ 18 يَلُفُّكَ لَفَّ لَفِيفَةٍ كَٱلْكُرَةِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ وَاسِعَةِ ٱلطَّرَفَيْنِ. هُنَاكَ تَمُوتُ، وَهُنَاكَ تَكُونُ مَرْكَبَاتُ مَجْدِكَ، يَا خِزْيَ بَيْتِ سَيِّدِكَ.

He will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of thy lord’s house.

١٩ 19 وَأَطْرُدُكَ مِنْ مَنْصِبِكَ، وَمِنْ مَقَامِكَ يَحُطُّكَ.

And I will thrust thee from thine office, and from thy station shall he pull thee down.

٢٠ 20 «وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَدْعُو عَبْدِي أَلِيَاقِيمَ بْنَ حِلْقِيَّا

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

٢١ 21 وَأُلْبِسُهُ ثَوْبَكَ، وَأَشُدُّهُ بِمِنْطَقَتِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ سُلْطَانَكَ فِي يَدِهِ، فَيَكُونُ أَبًا لِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَلِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا.

and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

٢٢ 22 وَأَجْعَلُ مِفْتَاحَ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، فَيَفْتَحُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُغْلِقُ، وَيُغْلِقُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْتَحُ.

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

٢٣ 23 وَأُثَبِّتُهُ وَتَدًا فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ، وَيَكُونُ كُرْسِيَّ مَجْدٍ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيهِ.

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.

٢٤ 24 وَيُعَلِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ مَجْدِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ، ٱلْفُرُوعَ وَٱلْقُضْبَانَ، كُلَّ آنِيَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ مِنْ آنِيَةِ ٱلطُّسُوسِ إِلَى آنِيَةِ ٱلْقَنَّانِيِّ جَمِيعًا.

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.

٢٥ 25 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، يَزُولُ ٱلْوَتَدُ ٱلْمُثْبَتُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَمِينٍ وَيُقْطَعُ وَيَسْقُطُ. وَيُبَادُ ٱلثِّقْلُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ».

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it.
